Your Eternal Destiny



What makes North Korea's petulant dictator Kim Jong Un so dangerous? He's an atheist.

Why does that make him a dangerous person? Because atheists don't believe in God; life after death or eternal judgment. Because of that, they view death as the complete cessation of life. In other words, atheists believe that "when you're dead, you're dead."

Of course, that's nonsense. The Bible contains numerous examples of historical, verifiable evidence to the contrary. For example, Jesus Christ rose from the dead three days after he was crucified. (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20)

Furthermore, the resurrected Christ was seen by more than 500 eyewitnesses, including many who weren't His followers. They had no reason to lie and perpetuate a fraud. They truly recognized Christ as alive and well with their own eyes which fulfilled the writings of Israel's ancient prophets concerning the resurrection of the Jewish Messiah. (Psalm 16:10, Isaiah 52:13-15, Isaiah 53:9-12, Zechariah 12:10, Zechariah 13:6)

Since Kim Jong Un doesn't believe in life beyond the physical world, he doesn't care about death. Therefore, it matters little to him if he dies in battle after causing massive death and destruction via a nuclear strike on another nation. Because Kim Jong Un doesn't believe that eternal judgment awaits him immediately after death.

But in fact, it does. And eternal judgment also awaits George Soros, the wicked and wealthy financier whose filthy lucre bought the 2008 presidential election for Barack Obama, who history will undoubtedly judge as the worst American president. And if Obama isn't the worst, then I'd hate to be around to see who's worse than him.

Atheists will claim that they don't believe in God because there's no evidence to prove that he exists. And that's nonsense as well. More than enough evidence is available to prove God's existence. Since the advent of microbiology and the subsequent discovery of DNA, science has presented volumes of evidence to prove that life was created by an intelligent source and didn't come about by random, unintelligent evolutionary forces.

Enough evidence for God existed 2,000 years ago during the time of the apostle Paul who wrote: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." (Romans 1:20)

So why do atheists such as Kim Jong Un and George Soros reject God? Because if God does exist, then serious trouble awaits them at death. And that bothers their consciences. Atheism then, offers them an escape from their guilty consciences and the reality that all human beings are held morally accountable to a Holy God for their actions here on earth.

But atheists need not fear God's judgment. Because Jesus Christ came into this world to die for the sins of every human being--even wicked men such as Kim Jong Un and George Soros--so that they might gain eternal life and be spared eternal damnation in hell.

Christ himself said it best: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) 

That's the antidote for atheism. Not the fear of some wrathful god of a man-made religion, but the acceptance of the free gift of eternal life from the true merciful God who doesn't want anyone to perish. Not even Kim Jong Un or George Soros.

  1. The main thing that makes atheists dangerous is the mantra, "I don't need God in order to be a good person." These people must actually believe that they are good people, oblivious to their faults. That lack of insight makes anyone dangerous.
